Not That Wheel, Jesus!

Stories from a Faith That Went Off-Road in the Best (and Worst) Possible Ways
  • By Mary Katherine Backstrom
$21.29
($28.00)
Product Description
From the nationally bestselling author of Holy Hot Mess, a laugh-out-loud look at what happens when life goes a direction we didn't expect and we are forced to reconsider the beliefs, assumptions, and stories that have always steered our course.

Jesus, take the wheel.

But wait...not like that!

Mary Katherine Backstrom grew up the most basic of all youth group kids--pH level 14--and her faith only grew as she worked at churches, led youth ministry, became a missionary, and went on to become a bestselling Christian author. She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the right straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell?

In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball. MK challenged and reconsidered every part of the faith she'd been raised to accept so completely. Not That Wheel, Jesus! is Mary Katherine's hilarious journey from certainty to doubt to going nuclear on the socials ("it was my heresy era"), and then of slowly and painfully finding her way back to a different, less defined sort faith.

It's the heartfelt and achingly honest story of a faith that went off the road and crashed and burned in spectacular fashion, right before God and everybody. And then, slowly, through grace and plenty of therapy, grew richer and deeper than she ever could have imagined.
